Fish cakes can be found everywhere in Thailand and there is now no reason to buy them. This recipe tastes just like the real thing and uses healthy ingredients.

Getting started
2

Place the fish in the food processor and process until smooth.

3

Add the coriander, cornflour, fish sauce, sweet chilli sauce and egg, and process until well combined.

4

Transfer the fish mixture to a large bowl. Add the shallot and beans and stir until well combined.

5

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and place 4 egg rings in the pan.

6

Divide the fish mixture into 8 equal portions. Press 1 portion into each egg ring. Cook for 4 minutes each side or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with the remaining fish mixture, reheating the pan between batches.

7

Meanwhile, to make the herb & peanut salad, place the Asian salad mix, coriander, peanuts, oil and lime juice in a large bowl and gently toss until just combined.

8

Divide the fish cakes and salad among serving plates and serve with lime wedges and extra sweet chilli sauce.
